"I completely forgot about that rule, so that one's on me."
"Yeah, I feel like an idiot for that."
"Don't touch that stove, it's hot. Touches stove. Gets burnt. Says yes, it is hot."
"I told my guys as soon as it happened, of all the people, I bet he didn't even remember it was a rule."
Noah Gragson was penalized during Daytona 500 qualifying for extending his left hand out the window to deflect air, violating a new NASCAR rule. NASCAR threw out his qualifying time, preventing advancement to the second round and eliminating his chance to race for the pole; starting order will instead be set by two Thursday night qualifying races. Gragson acknowledged forgetting the rule and called himself an idiot for the mistake. The incident prompted amusement across NASCAR, with some likening it to touching a hot stove. Teams had believed the gesture could yield an aerodynamic advantage on superspeedways.
